My father in law died in 2022 (dementia). We had home hospice for almost a year. The nurse and I grew very close and we still call and text each other several times a year

“We had home hospice for almost a year. The nurse and I grew very close and we still call and text each other several times a year.”

Yes this happens a lot. During my Father’s ordeal the hospice nurse became very close with us as a family, we adopted her whether she liked it or not, she didn’t have a choice. And because my kids are in the same industry, one of my daughters was able to hook her up with the pediatrician doctor my daughter was nursing for at the time. So when it came time for my wife needing care she would not let any of the other hospice nurses take on my wife as a patient. She came and did it personally as now part of our family. :)

One could not ask for anything more wonderful and fortunate considering the situation.
